What have they done to you ? So sad.

First of all, the school is NOT open to the public. You will be arrested for trespassing if you enter it. Not only will you be arrested for trespassing, but you can tell that the structure is unstable and dangerous. You can take photos of it through the chainlink fence that surrounds it, and that is all. Ruins of the old mansion on site still remain, and there are several other structures that also remain.

My father attended Boy Scout camp here in the 50s/60s. I last visited the site May 2008. I have several photos of the site, and the Town of Goshen has a PDF document on the Salesian site's history. tuathanas.clar@gmail.com if you'd like either. Please use "Salesian" in the subject line.

As for Christopher J., you seem to have issues.

I used to work in these warehouses right after college. My job was to roll barrels of distilled whiskey (Kesslers) from one end of the warehouse to the other where they were reinserted into racks for aging. Worse job I EVER had!!! I was also part of the crews that started dismantling the racks that were housed inside to hold barrels. All of these bonded warehouses stored Kessler's alcohol-mostly blended whiskey in oak barrels.

I worked these wards as a high school/college student and wandered around a lot. Understand the comments about impact of visual pics, and agree they're impressive, but there was a lot of real life going on here - even I appreciated that at a young age. Just wanted to inject a real world thought in memory of the many folks that lived here in a different world.

Worked there in '58 in kitchen as a 15 yr old kid. My mother had worked in Admin bldg earlier, and I learned to type in the record room hanging out there as an 10 yr old kid. Later worked the wards (mostly in New Building ) in high school and college) and basically grew up, learning both from patients and other attendants. Lot of sad things, discussions with many patients, but there was a lot more enjoyment too. I learned a lot about life from both patients and hanging around grounds with attendants and occasionally with student nurses. Taught me a lot about people..from both patients and workers and I'll miss not being able to see the old grounds. I learned to drive in the back roads when I was 15 and learned a lot in later years at the Cottage Crest, a nearby restaurant anyone familiar with Met will know.

I lived close to and played on the grounds of Byberry hosp, I have many strange things that I seen back then in the early 70

I think it was used to store the ingredients for the beer. Like hops and yeast
A quick translation.
"Naar" means to.
Open & dicht means open & close. "Omschakeling silo", switch between silo's.
At least if my English is any good.

Both lines on the door are dutch, first one (onderrichters) means students. Second one (instructeurs) Is simply instructors.

The bush near the clock almost looks like an angel...

This building was actually built in 1904. It is one of the original buildings, along with the Administration building and Awl, which is a carbon copy of this one to the right of Administration. Awl was for females, although there were no bars on the windows like there were here.
